I have apache version:
Server version: Apache/2.4.10 (Unix)
Server built: Oct 26 2014 13:31:18
I want to update apache version for http2 support. But simply adding http2 module in httpd.conf give error saying that module not found and sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade apache also doesn't work. Didn't find any solution on internet. How can I upgrade apache?
If you're using a Bitnami WordPress Stack, you have to understand that the Apache installed on the Stack is not installed by apt-get install XXX actions. Therefore, you can't upgrade it that way.
My recommendation install the new WordPress Stack available at https://bitnami.com/stack/wordpress (this way you're installing the latest version of Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc.) and then migrate your WP from the old stack to the new one as explained in the guide below:
https://docs.bitnami.com/google/how-to/migrate-wordpress/
After that, you can remove the old Stack.

I updated nginx from version 1.14 to 1.18 (Ubuntu) on Ubuntu 18.04.
Doing so appeared to break passenger. So I uninstalled and attempted to reinstall the Open Source Passenger version via the Passenger installation Ubuntu 18.04 instructions.
I got to this line:
sudo apt-get install -y libnginx-mod-http-passenger
Which throws this error
libnginx-mod-http-passenger : Depends: nginx-common (< 1.14.1) but 1.18.0-3ubuntu1+bionic1 is to be installed
Update I also attempted with the enterprise version. Following the enterprise version installation instructions, I received a similar error message:
libnginx-mod-http-passenger-enterprise : Depends: nginx-common (< 1.14.1) but 1.18.0-3ubuntu1+bionic1 is to be installed
I did attempt to research the issue and I found this issue on Phusion's GitHub as well as this more recent issue. It appears that what most people are doing is rolling back their nginx version to 1.14.
It is not deprecated, no. The problem is that the packaged module you are trying to install was made for an older Nginx version that is distributed through the system default repository. This appears in the installation guide that you've mentioned:
At this point we assume that you already have Nginx installed from your system repository.
What this means is that the following instructions assume that you have Nginx specific version (1.14.0 in your case) installed, for which the packaged module was built. This is emphasised in the new passenger documentation:
If you want to use our packaged Nginx module, you must use your distro's provided Nginx package. If for example you have the repo provided by NGINX setup, you will instead need to compile a dynamic module compatible with that Nginx.
The link in the last quote will bring you to the guide on how to compile a dynamic passenger module and enable it in Nginx configuration. I will not repeat the whole process to keep the answer short but the general approach is this:
Get passenger module for Nginx source code.
Get Nginx source code for the version you have installed.
Compile Nginx with the passenger module:
cd /path-to-nginx-source-dir
./configure --prefix=/opt/nginx \
--with-some-configure-flag \
--add-dynamic-module=$(passenger-config --nginx-addon-dir) \
--add-module=/path-to-some-other-nginx-module
make
sudo make install
Make Nginx to load the module by adding this line to nginx.conf:
load_module modules/ngx_http_passenger_module.so;
Personally, I'd rather chosen the 'nginx-behind-nginx' approach than building the module. That is you have Nginx any version you like but it runs as a reverse proxy for another Nginx with passenger enabled (Passenger Standalone). With an unnoticeable penalty to performance this will be much easier to maintain (install, update). See this guide for details.
Trustwave PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance has just failed with 'The remote host is running a version of nginx that is no longer supported'. I am running the latest LTS version of ubuntu server 18.04 with the latest version of nginx 1.14.2.
I have looked on line, but I cant find a list of which versions of nginx are still supported/unsupported. I would like to find either a way to determine if 1.14.2 is supported, or an authoritative list to dispute the finding.
Thanks to #lex-li, everything listed under "legacy" is unsupported here, though I thought nginx 1.14.2 was the latest because using the ppa for a stable version of nginx, apt install was telling me that it was the latest version. Recently nginx must have changed their install so that if you want to upgrade past 1.14, you need to uninstall nginx, then follow the instructions here
I would like to migrate a self-hosted wordpress site to Microsoft Azure. I've already done this migration job with Duplicator plugin from a server to another and everything worked well.
The problem with Ms Azure is that it uses a service called ClearDB to manage databases. (feel free to correct me if it's wrong) When you create a free account with this service you will get a restricted plan called Mercury which allows you to query your db (max dimension of 20MB) up to 3600 queries/hour.
But the migration process requires several operations on the database and the
As written in this blog the only option is to upgrade your plan to the 10$/month subscription.
I've found another way but the plugin the author uses in this link does not work for me.
Should I use another plugin to backup my WP content?
Do you have any advice?
Thanks
There are three solutions. I chose the first one.
Configure Mysql on a virtual machine and install Wordpress (classic way)
This can be done installing an already configured image with the Lamp packages on your Virtual Machine. Please see this link
If you want to set up it manually, follow these steps:
Create the vm (I used Ubuntu 14.04) then connect via SSH to your server.
ssh root#server_ip_address
Install Apache
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
To check if Apache is installed, direct your browser to your server’s IP address. The page should display the words “It works!"
Install MySQL
sudo apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql
During the installation, MySQL will ask you to set a root password. Once you have installed MySQL activate it with this command:
sudo mysql_install_db
Finish up by running the MySQL set up script:
sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
The prompt will ask you for your current root password.
Install PHP
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt
PHP also has a variety of useful libraries and modules that you can add onto your virtual machine. You can see the libraries that are available.
apt-cache search php5-
Decide which module you wish to install and type:
sudo apt-get install name_of_the_module
Although LAMP is installed, we can still take a look and see the components online by creating a quick php info page. Create a new file:
sudo nano /var/www/info.php
Add in the following line. Save and exit
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Finally restart apache
sudo service apache2 restart
and check the info page typing in your url
server_ip_address/info.php
Install mysql in a VM and create an Azure Website with a Wordpress image. Then link the mysql db on the virtual machine to the Wordpress site.
Upgrade ClearDB plan to the 10$/month subscription and specify the url of your remote db in wp-config.php
I chose micro free RHEL6.4 instance with EC2/Amazon, when I login, I found there no gcc, which I can yum install it. and there no nginx to yum install ?
I must install gcc and develop tools and download nginx source code to install ? oh ,the free is only 30Gb one month?
Check the installation page inside nginx website
I am using CentOS release 6.4 (final) which has httpd (Apache) installed by default. Recently I installed Subversion using #yum install subversion and now I need to integrate SVN with Apache. Can anyone help me with this?
Have a look at Collabnet Subversion Edge. From that page:
